With the newfound technique of Trigger Point Dry Needling to decrease pain, improve muscle length, and improve healing, he was able to combine all of his skills from the past years to further improve the functional mobility of all his patients.
In Andre developed an injury prevention program as well as a strength and conditioning class for the Classical Ballet Theatre in Herndon. He also serves as their Physical Therapist.
